...course, it is undeniable that it takes quite a bit of skill to create the French prints. Line structure is extremely complex; contrast between light and dark areas within the print is obviously extremely difficult, given the task of creating depth with only two colors is a challenging feat in any medium. Indeed, these prints do deserve approval from a technical standpoint...
...days of video games. Arcade games were still found in places other than seedy bowling alleys, and "Pac-Man" had his own T.V. cartoon. Formerly cool Atari was being phased out, and an upstart company named Nintendo was emerging. Even better, they were manufacturing something dazzling and new: 8-bit home video games.

Shuck's deep voice and stiff manner are a perfect compliment to Story's soft femininity, and although the set design for the Warbucks mansion is a bit much--The Nike of Samothrace looms in one corner, while Picassos, Mattises, Rembrants and the Mona Lisa also make appearances--it does produce a few chuckles from older members of the audience. Rooster Hannigan, played by Laurent Giroux, and his accomplice Lily St. Regent ("like the hotel, ya' know?"), played...
